4.5

Really great read. Very dense, much of the reading is very purposefully complex and confusing. Hell, even describing the main topics of the book is a complicated matter when you're constantly expected to question the author of the text.

In short, it's a book with zero reliable narrators, written like it's a profound literary research paper.
